Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 3 3. Troubled Times
It's not like Li Yuan didn't have the idea of ​​going directly to the back of Erchong Mountain relying on his mastery of "intermediate archery".

After all, whether it is a game or a novel, if the level is increased, won't the mobs in the next dungeon be easy to catch?

But Li Yuan didn't want to take the risk.

From his memory, he knew that Yan Yu still had emergency money there.

Four hundred wen, that is, four big coins.

During the good harvest in the past, these four big coins could buy 40 catties of corn, but now they can buy [-] or [-] catties.

No, I can't buy eleven or two catties.

These eleven or twelve catties had to be bought on the black market, which was far away and dangerous.

Their only choice is the grain shop next to Xiaomo Village.

Unscrupulous businessmen stock up on goods, just waiting for natural disasters and man-made disasters to make a fortune.

There, four big coins can be exchanged for seven or eight catties, which is enough.

And seven or eight catties of corn, if you eat sparingly, it is enough for him and Yan Yu to eat for half a month.

Since there is still time, there is no need to go to Erchongshanhou right now.

Li Yuan scanned his panel and values.

What's the matter, it can be regarded as a bit of hope.

"Test it in the next two days to see if you can increase the points you get every day."

Thinking of this, Li Yuan glanced at the dry stream and decided to go back.

And at this moment, a "3~5" floated from the gray forest not far away, and Li Yuan turned and ran without looking back.

That "3~5" also quickened his pace immediately, and at the same time, a man's voice with a high-pitched voice came.

"Yuanzi, what are you running for?"

Li Yuan paused.

Hearing this voice, he immediately knew who it was.

Qian San is also a hunter, but unlike him, he is tall and big.

In addition, there are five brothers in Qiansan's family, so many people are powerful, which is completely different from his lonely family.

Sure enough, not far away, a strong man walked over quickly.

Unlike him, there was no worry on the man's face at all, and his eyes were shining, giving off a very strong and aggressive feeling.

He grabbed a rough wooden hunting crossbow with his right hand, led a ferocious yellow dog with his left hand, and left behind him a machete for close quarters.

Qian San ran close and patted him on the shoulder without any explanation, and said, "Yuanzi, are you going back empty-handed again? Won't you starve your little lady to death?"

The relationship between the two of them is not so close at all. He is so casual, which is a kind of manipulation.

Qian San hooked Li Yuan's shoulder, pinched it casually, and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk tsk, thin, really thin, you don't look as thin as a hunter, look at brother, if you can be half as strong as brother, then After Erchongshan, I just went casually."

After finishing speaking, Qian San showed a smug expression, and then remained silent as if he had made a fool of himself.

According to his understanding of this Li Yuan, Li Yuan will definitely ask "What's there in the back mountain, is it good to hunt this winter", and when he finishes bragging, maybe he will say "Brother, take me with you".

However, Li Yuan said: "Brother Qian, the family is still waiting to go back for dinner."

"Dinner?" Qian San raised his brows and raised his voice a few degrees, "What's so delicious about that broken rice at your house? Follow me, brother, I'll take you to Erchong Mountain to eat delicious and spicy food. I'm chasing you last time." The wild boar I got hit back, haha."

With that said, he casually let go of the rope in his hand.

The yellow dog ran away like a joke, very mighty.

And after running a little farther, the words "1~2" appeared above the yellow dog's head, and "2~3" appeared above Qian San's head.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, is this a combination?
"Yuanzi, look at how big my Huang Zi is. If he is chasing pigs, how easy will it be for you and me to catch them? Huh?" Qian San leaned closer to Li Yuan's side, staring at him sideways.

"Brother Qian, it's really not good. My injury is still not healed, and my waist and legs are still hurting."

"Yuanzi, don't you want to save face?" Qian San's expression turned cold.

"It really hurts."

"Then next time you come to the mountain, if the pain is gone, follow your Brother Qian to Erchong Mountain, huh?"

Qian San stared at him fiercely, very savagely.

"Okay, next time, definitely next time." Li Yuan said hurriedly.

Only then did Qian San let go of his hand, and pointed at him again.

But at this moment, there were footsteps not far away, and the two of them saw a thinner hunter.

Qian San stared at this Orion again, pulled back the yellow dog, and walked over carelessly.

Li Yuan took the opportunity to leave quickly.

He knew what Qian San was thinking.

I'm afraid I won't dare to go to Erchong Mountain alone, so I want to pull a backer first. Before I go, he plays gaudy, and after he goes, he might use you as cannon fodder.

Moreover, behind the Erchong Mountain is a natural good place to "destroy corpses and wipe out traces".

After killing a person and throwing away the corpse, wild beasts will be attracted and the corpse will be dragged somewhere to eat.

It is useless even to report to the official. First of all, the official is not the one who makes the report and stands for trial. In this famine year, it is normal to put it on hold for ten days and a half months.

Even if it is not shelved, the body will not be found after going to Erchong Mountain.

Even if the corpse is found, the corpse has already been eaten by wild beasts, and the function of the beast is gone, so is it the beast or the human who killed the murderer?This is indistinguishable.

So, nine times out of ten, the county magistrate didn't even want to investigate after knowing that the person disappeared in Erchong Mountain, so he closed the case directly.

After Li Yuan left, instead of following the road, he made another detour and returned home.

In the yard, the door is half-closed.

Yan Niangzi tilted her hips slightly, and piled the newly picked firewood to the corner of the wall.

She didn't dare to go far, but picked up some broken branches under the nearby trees.

Hearing the movement at this time, he turned his head hastily, and after seeing the boy's appearance clearly, he showed a relaxed smile, spring and joy flashed across his pretty face: "Brother Yuan!!"

"Brother Yuan!"

She rushed over and threw herself into the boy's arms, as if her heart was hanging in the air before she settled down.

"Brother Yuan, brother Yuan."

she whispered softly
"What's wrong?" Li Yuan smiled.

"I saw wild dogs digging up the corpse. This corpse was just buried a few days ago."

"It's not buried deep enough."

"Brother Yuan, I'm afraid."

"I'm also afraid. I didn't catch any hunting again today."

"no problem, no problem."

The woman poked her head out of his arms, held his cheeks with both hands, and said softly, "We're all fine, that's fine."

Her facial features are actually very beautiful, and if you stare at them closely, you can also show a bit of impulsive femininity.

"Where did you see the wild dog, why don't we beat the wild dog?" Li Yuan was a little moved.

Lady Yan was stunned for a moment, giggled, and said: "It's long gone.

By the way, Brother Yuan, today I used two big coins to exchange two catties of corn, two catties of bran, and two catties of beans, and cooked them together, so I should be able to eat them for a while."

"Did anyone see you when you came back?"

"Aunt Wang and her man are also here. They helped me, otherwise I wouldn't dare to buy so much at once."

the two fell silent
After a day of depression, it seems that something is just around the corner.

Suddenly, Yan Yu exclaimed.

"Brother Yuan, what are you doing?"

Li Yuan's arms had already wrapped around her legs, he hugged the pretty village girl sideways, and strode into the house.

"Brother Yuan, the rice hasn't been cooked yet."

"Brother Yuan"

"Brother Yuan"

The voice gradually faded away, and it became you and me in the cloud and rain, not very sweet.
